answers and art...

Ok...looks like I left out lots of important detail about the bouquet yesterday...

The questions were...1. i love the vase art...what ink colors did you use?

These are the new distress ink colors...the blue is tumbled glass...the green is bundled sage and...the orange-ish is rusty hinge.#2.I love the flowers in the spool, what sets or die cuts did you use for the flowers .. I only ask because I'm going to have to try to copy it The large blue flower is a new flower from this set...the others are from tim's new Sizzix die...it's FATE how they fit together so well...any flowers will work!3.what did you use for the center of the large blue flower? ahhh...Another perfect fit...I used one of tim's newtimepieces with 2 foliage flowers and a brad...again, you'll see that I used olive archival ink for the stamping...I'm in LOVE with it...especially when combined with the tumbled glass...or the bundled sage...the medium sized rusty hinge flower has the crown from his "adornments" charm set and a foliage flower, that I altered with the gold paint dabber...it's stamped with my spatter stamp& coffee archival ink...the smallest blue has a tim "accoutrements"...for us common folk...a BUTTON!

I love all of the flowers and details on that piece. I may have to drive to an antique store I know of and see if I can find one of those spools. Really neat. Thanks for sharing how you created that piece.

Thanks for the deets !! I can't wait to find something like the spool that will work. I just did a major renovation of my craft room and it would be an awesome addition to my new work table !! Thanks .. have a great day !

Really appreciate another, close up look at this piece of art. I loved it the first go round, love it even more now than I can see all the detail. And boy, have you added detail, this is just wonderful.

It is all in the details...and you are the master of putting details together. Just an awesome bouquet of flowers! Thanks for sharing the details of your art with us...very inspiring! I just love how all of the new "stuff" fits together.

Great Art! I will be scouring my area for something that resembles the wooden spools for my inspiration. Not many spools in Southern California. I can't wait for my orders of ink and stamp to come. ( and some dies) I have told my family that when it comes I may be unavailable for days.

I seriously doubt I could make the pile of cardboard boxes in my garage look anywhere near like a work of art! Love the closeups of the flower arrangement. So glad I picked up Olive and Sepia pads and reinkers yesterday at Prairie Art Stamps; I couldn't log onto my computer so this was ESP? Whatever, I love it!

Thanks for all the details! It's just shows great minds think alike. (The great minds would be your's and Tim's and the folks over at Maya Road for all your pieces working so well together!) Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Wendy for the close ups and detailed descriptions. It makes it a lot easier and understandable when we look at the piece a little at a time. I love it! I am off to make my own art!Hugs from the beach!Dawn in SC
